If thered band trailerthat debuted yesterday forBad Santa 2wasn’t to your liking, then perhaps this new all-ages trailer will be right up your alley. The humor is still quite crude and crass, but all of the naughty R-rated words have been cut out. The sequel itself is rated R, so the red band trailer is a more accurate glimpse of what you’ll see in theaters. Here, we also have three new photos ofBilly Bob Thornton’s Willie Soke.
This new trailer fromBroad Green Picturesreveals that Willie hasn’t seen his mother Sunny Soke (Kathy Bates) in 15 years, but now they’re back together to work on a heist with Willie’s old partner Marcus (Tony Cox). This new trailer also reveals thatBilly Bob Thornton’s Willie isn’t convinced the target of their next heist is even worthy of stealing from. Willie also tries to get “romantic” withChristina Hendricks' Diane, although it doesn’t work out too well. We even get to see the return of Thurman Merman, who is all grown up and wearing the Santa suit.
Bad Santa 2returns Academy Award-winnerBilly Bob Thorntonto the screen as America’s favorite anti-hero, Willie Soke. Fueled by cheap whiskey, greed and hatred, Willie teams up once again with his angry little sidekick, Marcus (Tony Cox), to knock off a Chicago charity on Christmas Eve. Along for the ride is ‘the kid’ - chubby and cheeryThurman Merman(Brett Kelly), a 250-pound ray of sunshine who brings out Willie’s sliver of humanity.
Mommy issues arise when the pair are joined by Academy Award, Golden Globe and Emmy-winnerKathy Bates, as Willie’s horror story of a mother, Sunny Soke. A super butch super bitch, Sunny raises the bar for the gang’s ambitions, while somehow lowering the standards of criminal behavior. Willie is further burdened by lusting after the curvaceous and prim Diane, played by Emmy Award-nomineeChristina Hendricks, the charity director with a heart of gold and libido of steel. You better watch out:Bad Santa 2is coming to town.
